of the Salina Sunday Morning Republican
was issued by Andrews & Payne, the pub
Fishers of the Weekly Republican of that
city. This first Sunday issue is ala
page affair. The general head is apict-
ure of Salina and the surrounding coun-
try. Illustrations of handsome buildings
in the city are numerous. The reading
matter is of excellent quality, and there is
enough of it to suit everybody. The Sa-
lima Republican can afford to be proud Of
this decided hit in journalism.

WE DON'T AGREE.

The Atchison Champion express
es opposition to service pension.
we are opposed to the sentiments of
the Champion in this case. In the
first place, holders Of government
bonds were enriched by interest paid
in gold while the men were doing
the fighting for paper promises
which passed current at about forty
per cent. of the gold value. A ser
vice pension, while it would miss too
many who thus suffered, would, to
some extent, right this great wrong.
In the second place, the basis of re-
liable circulation which a service pen
sion would establish in every neigh
borhood for some years would be, in
measure. an offset to the cribbing
of capital in the great money centers,
and thus confer the blessings of
safety, not only to the pensioners,
but their neighbors throughout the
greater portion Of the country.
From the stand point of moral pro-
priety, of even greater cogency than
either of these reasons in favor of a
service pension is the fact that the
present pension arrangement is a
burlesque Oh the term system, We
do not care to ventilate, in this con-
nection, the devious methods by
which pensions may be-we do not
say are-obtained in direct violation
OF the present pension laws. 1t is
not necessary for us to deliver
lengthy address to establish the we'll
known fact that very many soldiers
who are entitled to pensions under
our present laws are deferred from
applying for them from the dread of
placing themselves on the growing
basis occupied by many applicants
whose deserts in the premises are, to
say the least, open to strong suspi-
cions. 1t is also patent to every
body who cares an iota about pen
sions that there is, under the present
laws, q large and growing class of
persons who deserve pensions,
but are prevented, by the death of
or separation from their service COM
panions, from making the technic-
al proof which is demanded.
Personally, we are not after pen
sion. but we believe that the people
of the greatest of governments can
not afford to ignore the men who
saved them. We use them advised
)y, and separate this pension ques-
tion from all other appropriations.
1t is matter of too much sacredness
to be associated with river improve
ments and railroad grants.

THE, RAILROAD COMMISSION.

/; Yesterday, says the Statesman of the 18th,

sion, was found at his office, busily engaged
in his multifarious clerical duties, but not too
busy, in fact he never is, 10 welcome reporter,

business Of the public as conducted by Com
missioners Waggoner and Slater. He reports
these two gentlemen travelling in eastern Ore
gon, Seeking whom they may devour" in
the way of extortionate tariff takers among
the railroads.
There were two complaints filed in his office
yesterday. One was by Mr. Witzel, a resi-
dent of Albany, who complained of over
charges by the Oregon & California Railroad
company on car load of wheat from Tangent
to Albany, distance Of seven miles, For
this distance he claims the company charged
him SIG, while the rate to Portland is only
$2o The commission, iii their recomenda.
tions to the company, suggested that six dol
lars would be fully equivalent to the service
rendered on such haul
The other was by Mr.. Summcrville, Of
Pendleton, against the o. r. & N. Co. He
claims that for car load of wheat from Pen.
dleton 10 Portland he was charged the sum Of
SIS, while the commission had recommended
to that company that tor such haul the sum
of $44 was a reasonable consideration, and
that no greater amount should be charged.
Mr.. Summerville further claimed that he was
charged for loading and unloading the car,
and that this was only further extortion.
The Oregon Pacific, it is understood, has
the lumber and timbers for replacing the
bridges, as recommended by the commission,
on the bridge sites, and by the time the rains
set in they will have all the old bridges re
placed by No. trestles, and the road in safe
running order. The Santiam bridge will be
a magnificent structure.

new ones as fast as possible, as instructed by

bed in excellent running order.

The reduction Of internal revenue and the
taking off Of revenue stamps from Proprietary
Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the
consumers as we'll as relieving the burden Of
home manufactures. Especially is this the
case with Green's August Flower and Beschee's
German Syrup, as the reduction Of thirty-six
cents per dozen, has been added TO increase
the size of the bottles containing these rene
dies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine
in the IS cent size. The August Flower for

have prehaps, the largest sale of any medicine

AN ABLE LECTURER
AN ENTERTAINING SERIES OF LECTURE
BY PROF. II. V. RORK.


As was announced in last weeks issue Prof.
NJ. V. Rork, of Michigan gave a series Of
lectures in this city Friday, Saturday and
Sunday evenings. The lecturer is the princi-
pal ol the public schools OF Lancing, Michigan,
and is in Oregon in the interest of the prohibi-
tory amendment and treats that subject from
an entirely original point of view, his lectures
teeming with grand scientific, religious and
moral truths. To hold and fasten the atten
ton Of his audience, to stir the intellect to
activity, to introduce new thoughts and to
show the immortal grandeur of man, we have
met with but few equal 10 the professor The
series of lectures delivered in this city were
parts Of one symmetrical whole and the audi
ences increased in number each night, Sunday
evening Slocum's hall being substituted for
the court house in order to better accommo-
date the crowd. The great strength of Prof.
Rork's lectures lies in the convictions which
he impresses upon young men and women.
He teaches a religion of righteousness and
good works rather than death-bed repentance
and forgiveness. There is much food for
thought here, and we know whereof we speak
when We say that in this place, Mr.. Rork
accomplished much good in placing young
men upon the solid rocks of truth for foun-
dation upon which to build character. But
we have no space for any extended synopsis
of his remarks, but as he will make tour oi
southern Oregon do not fail to hear him when
he visits your nearest point
